The Soun of Ogbomosoland Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III has reiterated that he is committed to making life better for the people in his domain.

Oba Olaoye made this declaration Thursday while commissioning four new boreholes in Ogo-Oluwa local government area of Ogbomoso Oyo state.

The communities where the projects were commissioned are Lagbedu, Pontela, Otamokun, and Opete.

“Access to clean, safe water is one of life’s most fundamental necessities. I am delighted that these communities can now enjoy this essential resource, which will improve public health, ease daily living, and contribute to their overall well-being.

“We are committed to improving the quality of life for our people and advancing sustainable community development across Ogbomosoland.”

While expressing gratitude to the donor, Mr. Fola Adeola, the Soun said, “On behalf of the good people of Ogbomosoland, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Fola Adeola for making these life-changing projects possible.

“Your generosity, vision, and unwavering commitment to the welfare of our communities are deeply valued.”

The monarch consequently encouraged other well-meaning individuals to be partners in the vision to make Ogbomosoland greater.

“I want this noble act to inspire many more individuals and organisations to partner with us as we continue to build a healthier, stronger, and more prosperous Ogbomosoland for both present and future generations.

“Together, we will continue to work towards an Ogbomosoland where every community has access to the basic amenities and opportunities needed to thrive.”

Some dignitaries at the programme were Oba Thompson Adeyeye Oyetunji, the Alaajawa of Ajaawa and Chairman of the Ogo-Oluwa Local Government Traditional Council; members of the Soun-in-Council, and other traditional rulers in the local government.

Oba Olaoye has identified provision of water as critical to improving the life of the people in Ogbomosoland and through advocacy has been facilitating provision of boreholes in communities in the zone.
